Silvia Abascal

Silvia Abascal was born in Madrid on March 20, 1979. She had the illusion of being an actress very early, and when she was fourteen years old, Narciso Ibáñez Serrador signed her for his popular television contest “One, two, three, answer again”. But desire and a pretty face are not enough, and Silvia knows it, so she studies verse with Alicia Hermida and will take numerous intensive acting courses with professionals like José Manuel Corazza.

The small screen seems to be captivated by Abascal, since the girl is signed in 1994 for the series Pepa y Pepe , by Manuel Iborra , where she plays the character of Clara. Many other works for television series will follow, among which are Hostal Royal Manzanares (1997), together with Lina Morgan , El comisario (1999), where she is the daughter of Tito Valverde , as well as appearances in Aquí no hay quien viva (2003 ), Hospital Central (2004), Vientos del agua (2005) and Accused (2009) . She is also about to premiere Pirates (TV series), where she will be the leading pirate girl almost at the same time as another from Madrid, Penélope Cruz .

To get started in the cinema, she was lucky to have Iborra, who had directed her in Pepa y Pepe , and who offered her a role in El tiempo de la felicidad (1997). She would later come The voice of her master From her (2001), fromEmilio Martínez Lázaro, My Mother Likes Women (2003), together with Rosa María Sardá, and, finally, his most important title, El Lobo (2004), about a mole infiltrating the terrorist group ETA, and who allowed to share the bill with Eduardo Noriega and José Coronado . After this last film, he made a little-known film, Vida y color (2005), a beautiful costumbrist story of poor Spain around 1975, written and directed by Santiago Tabernero .

In 2006 Silvia returned to Iborra’s command in La dama boba , an adaptation of the work by Lope de Vega , where she can demonstrate her preparation to recite alongside Verónica Forqué . However, the film is not as good as the obligatory cinematic reference, El perro del manger by Pilar Miró . And more Iborra and more Forqué arrive in 2008 with Enloquecidas , where other illustrious artists from the Spanish scene are Concha Velasco and Asunción Balaguer .

After the ensemble film Love Moves (2008), he joined the horror diptych inspired by HP Lovecraft The Valdemar inheritance (2009) and The forbidden shadow (2010).

Over thirty, Abascal has a solid career behind him, on stage, television and cinema. Moderately popular face for the series in which she has participated, 2011 could be an important year… Together with Óscar Jaenada and Pilar Rubio she will be Blanca in Pirates (TV series) , an adventure series that promises to be Telecinco’s reply to the Red Eagle of Spanish Television.
